Flag Etiquette



Didn't these protesters get the American flag etiquette memo?

According to the USA flag site, the flag is to be flown upside down only as a distress signal.

If they are in distress, I know a way to relieve it - LEAVE!

What about the word, "ILLEGAL" do people not get? They snuck into this country the same way a terrorist would. There are 11 million social security numbers potentially high jacked by these individuals so they could obtain illegal employment by unscrupulous employers who are anti-legitimate American worker. They are costing legitimate American workers thousands of dollars every day while they pay nothing and take advantage of legal immigrants and natural born Americans and the services these true Americans pay for. Enough is enough. This is not Mexico or any other country in central or South America so they can just quit flying the flag of their country here and go home where they belong, to the country they left and fly their flag their. If they want to be here, then let them take a legal course to cross into America across American borders, legally. Otherwise, they should be treated as exactly what they are, criminals. And those who are helping them should be treated as exactly what they are, criminals

That guy holding the flag looks like he may be constipated. That is a form of distress.

Let me clarify. I AM NOT anti-immigrant, I AM NOT anti-Latino. This country IS a country built, by and large, by immigrants. I AM anti-ILLEGAL. It is a slap in the face and a disservice to every Immigrant who has ever went through the hassle to enter this country legally, or those who have done so and become American citizens to allow these illegal’s to stay here and not treat them as what they are illegal and criminal for entering this country using non-legal means. It is a mockery of justice and flies the finger in the face of the laws of this country and especially when they fly the flag of America upside down, the flags of their own country on American soil and then demand that they have some right, which they don’t, to be here.

Cube, that's so wrong but so funny (as was JD's comment)!

I'd be putting up the flag of distress, too, if I (like this guy, assuming he's at the DC rally) was being subjected to a self-righteous diatribe from Teddy Kennedy.

(Which makes me wonder ... when did the Chappaquidick guy become the self-appointed moral compass of our country?!?)
